The Porsche Macan facelift has made its dynamic debut at the 2018 Paris Motor Show. This is the first major update given to the SUV since its debut in 2014.

Not much has changed aesthetically on the Macan facelift except for mildly revised grille and a new bumper up front. The rear sports a bigger change in the form of a new horizontal solid LED strip that joins both the tail lamps.

Inside, the dashboard has been updated to mimic that of the bigger Cayenne. The AC vents have now been moved below the new 10.9-inch infotainment screen. Porsche will also offer an optional GT sports steering wheel that echoes the style of the 911 sports car.

Currently, only the base Macan variant with a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine has been revealed. This motor makes 240 bhp and 370 Nm and is hooked up to a 7-speed PDK transmission. The new Macan S might soon be revealed with a rumoured 2.9-litre V6 petrol from the Panamera.
